Although this panto at Malvern stars
dwarf actors (unlike its Birmingham neighbour performing the same
story), there's nothing small about it.

This show is big on laughs, big on character and
sure to be a big success.

It more or less follows tradition in set and storyline with a few pop
songs and musical numbers to help it along the way. The script also
cleverly weaves in current jokes that go over the younger members of the
audience's heads but add some fun for the adults on the likes of Rebekah
Brooks and Miley Cyrus.

The only pitfall would be why they decided to
change the names of the dwarfs to alternatives like Kip instead of
Sleepy and similar.

Sue Holderness as the Wicked Queen and Olivia
Birchenough as Snow White

Our heroine is played by Olivia Birchenough from
Channel 5 children's show Milkshake, whose ever-smiling, kindly Snow
White wins over the dwarfs and the audience. At the other end of the
spectrum, (Marlene in Only Fools and Horses) is deliciously evil
as the Wicked Queen and relishes the boos. She also shines as a comedy
actress, adding plenty of quips and even dropping in a few lines about
Del Boy.

It's a good strong cast all round but when it
comes to winning over hearts, it's not Snow White but her best friend
Muddles (Chris Pizzey from The Basil Brush Show) who gains adoration.

Pizzey is wonderful with the children in the
audience, along with the adults, and attracts the biggest cheers.

All in all, it's a fun show that will make you
shout, boo, hiss and most of all, smile.
